S4 trans swap?

[James Dupree]

Does anyone know for sure one way or the  other if a 2000 S4 6spd trans can be installed in a 93 S4?
There is a 2000 S4 6spd listed in the marketplace and I was thinking about a conversion for my 93 S4 5spd. My 94 has 187k miles (and a slight whine) and this 6spd has 30k.
Based on repair manual info they are both 01E trans, have the same final drive ratio (4.11) and have 108mm drive flanges. There are some visual differences in the shift linkage. Also the 93 has the guide/mount for the pro-con tension cables for the seat belt system the 2000 does not.
Anyone have any good info?
Thanks
Jim
